I recently sold a drone on CL for $2000, and after a couple weeks of stalling, the buyer finally gave me an ultimatum - cashiers check only, and at 8pm on a Sunday. That’s a huge no.

This discussion took place on a Friday, and I insisted that if he pays with a cashiers check, that the funds be allowed to clear before…

I survived 1000s of perfectly fine “horrible parenting” situations, growing up, that would get most parents arrested today. 98.3% of the time, people need to relax.

I lost a friend over an argument over it being “animal abuse” that a dog was left in a yard with just shade, instead of leaving it inside with AC running.…

...you can’t win through exercise...you win through diet

I try to explain this to so many people. I know so many who go on about “needing to exercise more”, but they “don’t have the time”, and that may or may not be true, but their biggest problem is diet. Fix that, then worry about adding exercise to your schedule.

It’s okay that Tyson is a convicted rapist because ladies think he was “cute” in a movie.

That’s it.

It doesn’t take much.

It has a face only Chevy fanatic can love.

I’ve always been a Chevy guy, but there is no denying the beauty of Ford trucks and Mustangs. Even Fusion, Explorer, and Edge. I’d still take a ZL1 over a stang, but no way I’d drive any recent Chevy pickup or car, other than a high end Camaro (the base model is horrible) or…

A Gawker writer got political? The hell you say!

I’ve only seen one of these, and that was in about ‘92. I remember thinking it was cool at the time - probably because of rarity, but wow, that thing is ugly.

There was a guy in one of these driving like a superdouche yesterday in LA. His driving matched his car, but his car did not match his gender.

“I think that the First Amendment still applies in Baltimore, and tonight police are changing that rule.”

That is not what he said.

I think the biggest factor is entitlement and conditioning. People like the woman in the video above, and possibly the guy in your story, go around all day asking for money and asking for cigarettes and everyone gives it to them, whether it’s out of “compassion”, a sense of guilt, or just trying to help. So when they…

My issue with the first point is this: it’s raining. No matter where the plants are in the yard, the rain is hitting it; no need for roof runoff.

That excuses nothing.

“Effing”

I just came here for the Gawker asshat commenters who say that the bus was at fault.

Not disappointed.

Complete moron is a complete asshole idiot... Gawker needs to point out he said “fagget”.

Because that’s the bad part.

While I have not been set on fire yet, people have gone verbally batshit insane on me when I say “Sorry, I don’t smoke”. Similar to this:

Thanks. I’ll probably go with the switches. Also, I’m a one man band and am horrible when it comes to futzing with gels. 4 rockers for 1/4 levels will work more than fine. I appreciate you pulling that link for me, I’ll read it over for the knowledge, even if I don’t implement it.

It used to be a painful delight watching guys run their new Corvette or their 60s Camaros into walls at SoCal’s Saugus Speedway “Ego Challenge” in the late 80s, early 90s.

Do you have any links or have any info you can share here about wiring a non-flickering dimmer to an AC with 120v to 12v power supply. I made a couple 12”x42” panels that kick butt, but when googling for dimmers, I only came across PWMs or potentiometers for battery powered units. I googled my ass off for weeks then…

No, no, no, and no.
